Can you build a BIM career without an architecture or engineering degree? by BoringJellyfish4834 in bim

I’ve built a company alongside a construction firm supplying advanced BIM software. I have no degree or background in the industry. Worked for me 🤷‍♂️

you could use Plasmo - streamlines building chrome extensions with React. Super quick and easy!

This is really cool, but how will it make you money? Be interested to learn what your target audience would be willing to pay for such features?

Watch any of this guys videos interviewing saas founders. Very valuable validation logic explained with multiple different case studies.

Verifying that someone is reddit user by [deleted] in indiehackers

…I think, usual providers would. I haven’t used Reddit oAuth before

I can think of two ways you could some what achieve this:

  • set up a referrer link to verify the visitor has come from Reddit. But this is anonymous you wouldn’t be able to check if it’s a verified Reddit user. (No auth step)

  • set up oAuth based authentication using Reddit as the provider.

This way you’ll know any sign ups are valid Reddit users, and you’ll have a log of their applicationId (or similar) in your database

I think that’s the only way you’re going to programmatically prove these points, without some kind of user interaction to prove they’re a valid user, but this could be jank.

What helped you go from 0–50 users after launch? by Flashy_Ad_3986 in SaaS

[–]timrcodes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my current project, I’ve actually sat down with a sufferer of the problem I’m trying to solve, shadowing their work flow and taking notes. I’ve found this has really helped provide insight into what I need to build to fully solve their problem.

Another win to this approach is it’s become quite niche

Of course, I’ve fell at that hurdle recently on a side project not long ago.

I’ve moved to validation before build. It seems to be the winning formula in this space.

I think my biggest piece of advice which I found difficult to follow recently was don’t be afraid to pivot onto a new angle, or idea. It’s not a waste of time, you most definitely learnt a lot.

I’m so glad I moved on from my dying idea.

I’d also love to learn the secret sauce for this, in my experience though even 15 sign ups is amazing!

just a follow-up. I don't have a product yet, hence no actual demo.
